Harold Hudson (AKA The Reef Doctor) Reef Ball Project

The Reef Ball Foundation conducted a project Feb 24th-March 3rd, 2007 in the Cayman Islands and cast and deployed a Harold Hudson "layer cake" artificial reef module with a specially made navy brass plaque bearing the words in raised lettering: "The Reef Doctor" Harold Hudson, Phd The Reef Ball Foundation Thanks You The module was deployed at approximately 19°21'52.82"N 81°23'48.99"W along with 30 additional modules which will be planted with propagated corals rescued from hurricane damaged stock. Volunteers from around the world are gathering for the project including some of Harold's students to plant the corals. The reef will be added to over time to help rehabilitate nearshore habitat loss due to Hurricane Ivan. The brass plaque was donated by Eternal Reefs and $5,000 of funding for the project came from the Harold Hudson Layer Cake Fund of the Reef Ball Foundation. Additional funding came from the Reef Ball Foundation, Cayman Department of Enviornment, Marriott Beach Resort Hotel, Red Sail Sports, the Spurlino Foundation, and Al La Kabob restaurant and others Congratulations Harold on all your achievements!
